Jiang Chen finished speaking.

Attorney Chen on the other end of the phone visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even his voice was filled with undisguised excitement.

"Attorney Jiang... thank you so much, thank you so much!"

"I'll send you the person's contact information via private message right away!"

Jiang Chen was able to take this case, which was a relief for her.

At least... I don't have to worry about public opinion.

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Okay, I'll contact him as soon as I receive it!"

At this point, Jiang Chen paused, his tone becoming more serious.

"Attorney Chen, there's one more thing."

"I plan to contact the person involved privately first to understand the situation before deciding whether to broadcast it live."

"I will not start a live stream or disclose his personal information without his consent."

"This is to protect him, and also to protect me!"

Upon hearing this, Attorney Chen responded repeatedly.

"Of course, of course!"

"He's definitely not in a good position to face the camera right now!"

"I thank you on behalf of the client for considering this!"

Having decided to take on this case, Jiang Chen also considered the client's condition.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

[I agree. This kind of case really shouldn't be broadcast live right away; the person involved must be very vulnerable right now.]

Jiang Chen is very steady in his actions; he contacts people privately first before deciding how to make it public. He's reliable!

[Let's discuss the live stream once the parties involved have calmed down; it'll be better for everyone this way!]

I understand, I hope that guy gets better!

After saying goodbye to Chen Lu, Jiang Chen waved to the camera.

"That's all for today. I'm going to end the broadcast now and contact the person involved to try and meet them as soon as possible!"

"Just wait for my news!"

After he finished speaking, he turned off the live stream.

Upon opening the private message, Attorney Chen had already sent a phone number and a brief note:

"The person involved: Sheng Zhubao, 35 years old."

"Your condition is extremely poor at the moment. Please be as gentle as possible during the call."

Jiang Chen was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

The attitude should be more gentle.

The other person is a man who is universally condemned as a scumbag, and also a man whose wife has pushed him into the abyss with lies!

It's good enough if he can answer my calls, let alone expect him to be emotionally stable.

Jiang Chen quickly dialed that number.

The phone rang for a full minute before it was finally answered.

There was no sound from the other end.

Jiang Chen waited a moment and then spoke softly.

"Hello, are you Mr. Sheng Zhubao?"

The other party remained silent and did not reply.

After a few seconds, a hoarse voice came through: "Yes..."

"I am Jiang Chen, a lawyer."

"Attorney Chen just entrusted your case to me; she should have notified you in advance."

"Um……"

The other person's voice was hoarse, as if it were being squeezed out from deep in their throat.

She said... someone is willing to take my case.

"Yes, I answered!" Jiang Chen's tone was very soft.

"I'd like to talk to you in person to understand the specifics of the situation and then discuss our next steps together."

"Is it convenient for you to meet?"

Whether it's collecting evidence or understanding the entire process of a case.

All of these require communication with the parties involved.

There was another silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, Sheng Zhubao spoke, his tone somewhat hesitant.

"I...don't really want to go out."

"Everyone outside is watching me."

"I went to the supermarket to buy water a couple of days ago, and the cashier recognized me and gave me a second look... I immediately put my things down and ran home."

"I'm even afraid to open the door to pick up my takeout now..."

Jiang Chen listened quietly without urging him, but listened attentively.

This is a man who is on the verge of collapse.

After he finished speaking, Jiang Chen slowly opened his mouth.

"Mr. Sheng, I understand how you feel right now. Being misunderstood by the entire internet, being insulted by strangers, and being afraid to see people—I've been through all of that."

"But I want to tell you one thing: you didn't do anything wrong!"

"The things people are saying about you online right now are baseless. The money transfer records prove that what your wife said online is false!"

"Your innocence can be restored!"

A very soft gasp came from the other end of the phone.

It seems like something is being suppressed.

After a few seconds, Sheng Zhubao's voice finally rang out.

"Attorney Jiang, do you really think... I can still be exonerated?"

"Yes, but only if you cooperate with me!"

Jiang Chen said firmly.

He doesn't need the person in question to stand in front of the camera right now, nor does he need them to face everyone immediately.

He only needs to do one thing: meet with the person involved and talk to them face-to-face.

The rest is up to him.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Zhubao remained silent for a long time.

Then, he replied in a weak voice, "Okay..."

"Send me the address," Jiang Chen said earnestly. "I'll be there as soon as possible!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen silently organized his thoughts.

The system gave him three objectives in total.

Win the lawsuit, send Yan Dongping to jail, and expose the team behind her!

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to go step by step.

We still need to collect evidence gradually.

It's getting late, and I need to get to the person in charge at the earliest tomorrow.

He needs to rest as soon as possible for the rest of the time.

But what Jiang Chen didn't know was... during the period after he agreed to take the case.

The tide is turning on the internet!

That evening, Yan Dongping started her live stream.

In the video, she is wearing a gray coat and her hair is a little messy.

Her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just been crying.

When the number of viewers in the live stream increased, her first words were choked with tears.

"Family members, I saw the news today."

"My ex-husband hired a lawyer, a very famous one named Jiang Chen."

"Why did he do this to me? Why did I help a man who abandoned his wife and daughters with his case?"

"I've been raising my child alone for so long, what right does he have to hire a lawyer to sue me?"

She lowered her head, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with sobs.

"I just want justice. Why is everyone bullying me?"

Many netizens felt sorry for the person who witnessed this scene.

【Don't cry, sister, we all support you!】

I know Jiang Chen. He used to be a celebrity in the entertainment industry, but he's retired and is now a lawyer!

[Tsk tsk tsk... He's only popular now because of his previous infamy, which he then twisted into a righteous act!]

[If her ex-husband can afford a lawyer like that, he must be quite well-off. So why doesn't he send money to her sister?]

Sisters, flood Jiang Chen's comment section!

[A disgraced celebrity with a history of scandals circulating online is now helping a scumbag boyfriend with his lawsuit? Birds of a feather flock together!]

Yan Dongping sobbed and continued wiping away her tears.

She felt secretly pleased as she read the comments from netizens.

But she was still crying and sobbing.

"Sisters, I really don't know what to do anymore. I just want to live a quiet life with my child."

"But he won't even give me this chance..."

This completely ignited the anger of netizens.

Even... the focus gradually shifted to Jiang Chen!
